It’s 65°, cloudy, humid with a light breeze. The grass is getting taller by the day, all of the trees are budding out, even the Ash trees and the pollen is everywhere. We are both battling sinus/allergy crud. I just made a trip to the pharmacy to pick up something for Brad so he doesn’tContinue reading “It’s Spring In Texas”

Soup’s On!
The weather has been cool but has warmed up into the high 70’s today. I’ve been meaning to start a pot of soup so that’s what I just finished. It’s simmering on the stove. I browned a pound of ground beef, sliced some turkey sausage, added chopped red onion, left-over corn, a can of blackContinue reading “Soup’s On!”
Dreary March Day
It’s 65°, cloudy and damp. We’ve had a couple of light showers, a little thunder earlier this morning, but nothing much at the moment. We’ve got storms and high winds forecast for this evening and into the night. Not fit weather for man nor beast. Good day to stay in and get some things doneContinue reading “Dreary March Day”
Hello, Monday!
Saturday took more out of me than I realized and I spent all day Sunday resting and doing pretty much nothing. But the garage is clean, the leaves are away from the south side of the garage and I discovered another section of good, rubber garden hose under the leaves. It seems Spring Cleaning isContinue reading “Hello, Monday!”
After The Storm
The sun is shining, it’s 68° with a light breeze. The worst of the storm missed us but hit Oklahoma pretty hard. Grass is beginning to turn green, I’m hearing frogs in the pond north of the house through the open living room window. The crows and hawks are vocal but I haven’t heard theContinue reading “After The Storm”
All Done
The Timberjack crew finished grinding the stump and got the ground leveled so water will not flow towards the foundation of the house. They left a little after 4 pm. I’m thinking that after the soil and mulch settles this would be a good spot for a new flower bed. I need to move theContinue reading “All Done”
It’s Time To Decide
I am ready to start the last pattern repeat on this shawl but I still have 1.4 ounces of yarn left. Do I go ahead and finish with 42 saw teeth or do I keep going and try to leave enough to bind off? Honestly I think I’m ready to bind off and just addContinue reading “It’s Time To Decide”
The Ice Is Gone
The sun is shining, no breeze to speak of and it’s 41° in our little corner of Texas. Nice to see the sun again. Brad is off to pick up a couple of pounds of chopped brisket, BBQ sauce and sides. We’ll have some for lunch and divide the rest of the brisket and freezeContinue reading “The Ice Is Gone”
Soup, At Last
I got the Black Bean Soup started and simmering about 3:30 yesterday afternoon and took it off the burner at 6 pm after enough of the broth had reduced. I froze half of it and put the other half in the fridge. We had a late lunch that was very filling and we only hadContinue reading “Soup, At Last”
Late Night, Busy Morning
We’ve been busy this morning and I’m finally sitting down to the laptop. The house is clean, and open to the fresh air and sunshine. It’s 70° with a light breeze and low humidity. We both had long naps yesterday afternoon but still slept all night. It’s nearly noon and we had a late breakfast.Continue reading “Late Night, Busy Morning”
